I'm Going to Get Restylane to Fill in Lines Around my Mouth. What Should I Expect?

I'm quite excited about it as I'm unhappy with this area. Will I be able to go to work the next day?

A: Restylane has its uses

It depends what kind of lines they are. If caused by facial animation such as marionette lines or nasolabial folds, use perlane or juvederm. Restylane should really only be used for superficial lines.

Is Restylane Effective Enough to Reduce Deep Wrinkles in the Corner of the Mouth?

Does Resylane have better results than Juvederm? I have already tried that and the results were not as I expected.

A: Restylane for Marrionette Lines

No. I use Perlane or Juvederm for the marriontte lines since they are much deeper folds. I only use Restylane for very shallow lines or areas of thin skin such as the inferior orbit.

What Determines the Needle Size in Restylane?

Has the size of the needle changed over the years to improve the injection process of fillers like Restylane, or is it more in the technique?

A: Techniques have changed

The needle is included in the package of restylane.  Regarding the question of technique, fillers in the past were used primarily to fill the nasolabial folds.  However, aging and volume loss doesn't  just happen in one area.  Since then, most dermatologists and plastic surgeons now look at the face as a whole to assess where volume is needed, rather than just trying to fill one wrinkle or fold.  Areas like the temples, cheeks, tear troughs, marionette lines, chin, lips, and jawline can all be treated to achieve a more natural, balanced result.  Note that all these areas are treated off-label, meaning the FDA has not approved the filler for these areas.  The most important thing is to see a board-certified physician experienced in these treatments.
